It combines the strengths of a physical controller — physical buttons and vibration feedback — with the flexibility afforded by motion controls as well as unmatched precision. PlayStation Move can also precisely detect the absolute position of the controller held by the users in real-life 3D space.
Additionally, it makes use of the PlayStation Eye camera for head and body tracking, photo and video capability, online video chat and more.
Combined with the unmatched power and HD capabilities of the PS3 system, PlayStation Move enables the most robust and sophisticated motion gaming experience. If the PlayStation Move is correctly set up, you will notice a smoother, vastly more precise feel than other motion controllers. Will I ever be able to download these on the PlayStation Network?

Thanks for the great FAQ. As you or someone often replied this infamous question regarding using one MOVE Controller on one hand and DualShock 3 Controller on another hand, right? I find that strange that you went ahead with this strategy…Perhaps I am wrong, but the reason for my asking is because I am lefty hand. Is there a time frame for it?
The more I think about it, the more I wish they just added a sphere on the nav controller. Its less confusing on what I need and dont need and it also adds more possibilities to games.

PSN titles with Move compatibility Developers of downloadable titles are also getting in on the Move action.
Eight key Move-compatible titles due out after launch Some of the forthcoming Move titles that we're looking forward too Reuse this content. They added extra buttons for more actions, triggers for our index fingers to rest on and finally joysticks to better control 3-D movement. Ergonomically, controllers have differed quite a bit -- but when it came to functionality, they were about the same. That is, until the Nintendo Wii came along, reinvented the controller and sold boatloads of systems.
The Wii focused on controlling games with motion and pointing at the TV. Its controller looks far more like a television remote than a typical game pad, and this new form of control has helped Nintendo sell nearly 74 million Wiis worldwide between November and July [source: Alexander ]. Sony and Microsoft have been scrambling to tap into the Wii experience -- but how do they beat Nintendo at its own game? In September , Sony launched its own motion control system, the PlayStation Move, compatible with its game console the PlayStation 3.
Just like the Wii, the PlayStation Move comes with a pack-in sports game. Sony hopes a special camera and a unique system of 3-D positioning will help the PlayStation Move outmaneuver Nintendo. In this article, we'll explore how. PlayStation is a well-established brand, and Sony played it safe with the overall design of the Move by closely adhering to an aesthetic gamers would recognize.
Like the PlayStation 3 controller, the Move remote is matte black plastic, with four small face buttons near its top bearing the familiar PlayStation symbols: X, O, square and triangle. The four small buttons flank a larger center button marked with the Move logo. The Move controller's slight hourglass shape and button placement help guide the user's hand into place, since the thumb is meant to rest over the center Move button.
Since the PlayStation Move is all about motion, it can get away with fewer in-game actions springing from button presses; hence one dominant, large button. The final button on the face of the controller bears the PlayStation logo and can sync the controller to the console and access the PlayStation 3's dashboard.
The typical start and select buttons for pausing and options rest on the sides of the controller near the top. Finally, on the back of the device is a concave trigger appropriately marked with a T for gamers to cradle with an index finger -- perfect for first-person shooters or any motion control trying to simulate a hand grip [source: Mikhailov ]. Of course, there's the impossible-to-overlook sphere resting atop the Move wand.
It even glows! As we'll explain in the next section, that glowing ball is actually what allows the PlayStation eye camera to track the controller's movement. Attaching a bulbous, glowing sphere to the top of a device is one way to make it stand out, but the PlayStation Move's ball isn't just for looks -- it's actually an integral part of the controller. Working in tandem with Sony's PlayStation Eye camera, which comes included with the Move bundle, the ball allows for 3-D motion tracking in real-time.
When multiple Move controllers are used simultaneously the PlayStation 3 supports up to four at once , it's easy to tell them apart by the color of the sphere. The ball's primary function, however, is providing a visual reference for the PlayStation Eye.
Those specifications translate into a very quick response time, meaning actions the PlayStation Eye perceives are displayed on the screen with minimal delay or lag [source: Sony ]. Things get interesting when the Move comes into play: The PlayStation Eye has been programmed to recognize the exact size and shape of the ball on top of the Move remote. Once the Move controller is visible to the camera, it's able to detect the exact positioning of the ball in 3-D space.
By tracking the size of the ball and easily following it, thanks to the glowing LED the PlayStation Eye can accurately tell where the ball is at any time. In addition to tracking the ball's coordinates, the PlayStation Eye can identify human faces and perform head tracking -- once it recognizes the people in front of it, the Eye can accurately follow the movements of their heads, but not quite as accurately as following the Move's sphere -- after all, people don't come in an exact size and shape!
This entire process can be carried out within the span of less than one frame of movement out of 60 per second thanks to the power of the PlayStation 3's processor [source: Joystiq ]. The video interface isn't the Eye's only ability. It can also pick up audio via an array of four microphones. Primarily, though, the Eye's task is keeping up with the Move remote's location.
